Well, almost nothing. It's the first one, that is just advertisement, and unfair at that. "Thou shalt not buy from other shoppes". Or, should I say "Thou shalt not install any software other than Microsoft".

OK, the presence of roads, parkings and the absence of sidewalks is forcing me to drive when I'd rather walk.

In that sense, along with the ten commandments I'd also like to see a few I Ching books, few Upanishads... and then, why not, works of guys like Kant, Schopenhauer and other great minds. All of that is equally important cultural information.
